Rollins scratched from Sunday's starting lineup

The Phillies shortstop, who was in the original lineup when I walked into the clubhouse around 10:40 a.m., was scratched a little while later.

As he sat in street clothes in front of his locker around 11:30 a.m., Rollins assured a handful of reporters that he was just getting a day off. He had started 62 consecutive games dating back to May 24.

Might be a good thing that Rollins is getting a breather.

In his last 22 games, he's hitting only .187 (17-for-91) with a .261 OBP. He has four doubles, four home runs, one triple, nine walks and 12 strike outs during that stretch.

Nate Schierholz is leading off and playing right field. Michael Martinezis taking Rollins' spot at shortstop today and hitting eighth. By the way, today's starting pitcher, Cliff Lee, has a higher batting average (.194) than Martinez (.146).
